Set-Up & Operation - Heating & Stirring

Optimising the temperature performance of your StarFish

The heating performance of your StarFish will be affected by:

1. The limit of the maximum operating temperature of the stirring hotplate.2. Heating power (Watts) of the stirring hotplate.3. Flatness of the top plate on the stirring hotplate.4. Ambient temperature.5. Load to be heated.6. Maximum housing temperature of the stirring hotplate.7. Whether you use a separate temperature controller (probe) see overleaf.

Page 5

StarFish Multi-Experiment Work Station

WarningWhen placing oil baths, sand baths or aluminium blocks etc onto a stirring hotplate the increased surface area will reflectheat back to the stirring hotplate. In such instances care should be taken to ensure that the hotplates external housingdoes not exceed the maximum temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Such overheating can cause damage tointernal and/or external parts and lead to failure of your stirring hotplate.

!WarningAlways refer to the manufacturers operating instructions for your stirring hotplate before using it with the StarFish to besure of any limitations or safety restrictions.!

Using a separate temperature controller

For accurate temperature control of your block and/or solution temperature we recommendusing a temperature controller such as the Hei-Con Temperature Sensor V2A(509-88000-00).

All StarFish blocks feature a hole (3.5mm ID) for inserting a temperature probe.

WarningTemperature controller wire/cable should not contact with the heated baseof the StarFish. Always rotate the StarFish base to ensure that the probehole is nearest the probe socket on the stirring hotplate.!

Important NotePlease note that typically temperature controllers should be set between5˚C and 15˚C above the boiling point of the solvent to achievea gentle reflux.

Set-Up & Operation - Base Plate & Optional Handles

Fitting optional insulated handles to base plate

Optional insulated handles facilitate the convenient removal of the base plate.

These handles are insulated from the base plate by a peek spacer which allows the baseplate to be picked up when hot. The handles also allow the base plate to be placed on to asuitable laboratory surface without causing damage by the heat of the base plate.

The handles are fitted to the base plate with two screws (see exploded view at right).

1. The handles are fitted with captive nuts retained in peek bushes which insert into thealuminium base of the plate handle and then protrude through the upper surface.

2. Peek spacers are then located from above on to each of the two protruding bushes.

3. To fit the handle, present the handle plate to the underside to the base plate.

4. A fixing screw is then inserted from the top, through the base plate top, through thepeek spacer and then screws into the captive nut located in the lower peek bush.

5. The screws are then screwed securely with a flat-head screwdriver.

6. The same procedure is then repeated for the other handle

Page 7

WarningExtreme caution should always be used when lifting hot vessels or objects.Please check with your laboratory safety officer to ensure that you arecomplying with all relevant safety procedures.

Many laboratories do not permit the handling of hot liquids or objects andtherefore the use of the optional StarFish handles may not be permittedwithin such a laboratory.

!

WarningRepeated heating and cooling of the base plate and handles may cause thehandles to loosen with time. Always check handles are tight before eachuse.!

Water Distribution Manifold

Water Distribution Manifolds have been designed to allow coolant from a single sourceto be evenly distributed to up to five condensers and then the flow re-combined to oneoutlet pipe. Two manifolds are used in each system, one to distribute water to thecondensers and one to collect coolant for recirculation or to drain.

1. Confirm that the manifolds are Water Manifold 505-81030-00 rather than Gas/VacuumManifolds. The Water Manifold is identified by the label and fitted with a femaleconnector on the side of the manifold body.

2. Place both Water Manifolds over the top of support rod and slide down to the desiredposition and fix with the thumbwheel. (It does not matter which way up the manifoldsare fitted to the support rod).

3. Push the the large barbed connector (supplied with the Water Manifold) into your waterinlet tubing. (For suitable tubing please order - 8mm x 15m clear Tygon Tubing).

NB. The connector has a 9.6mm OD barb with an 6.4mm bore and accepts flexible tubing with an 8mm ID.

4. Now the tubing is connected to the connector, insert it into the female connector on theside of the lower of the two Water Manifolds. It will click in place.

5. Repeat the procedure with the water outlet/drain tubing. Connecting it to the connectoron the upper of the two Water Manifolds.

6. Connect the tubing from each of your condenser inlets to a right-angled connector(5 are supplied with each Water Manifold). (For suitable tubing please order6.4mm x 15m clear Tygon Tubing).

NB. The right-angled connector has a 6.4mm OD barb with an 3.2mm bore and accepts flexible tubing withan 6.4mm ID.

7. Now the tubing is connected to the right angled connector, insert it into any one of thefive female connectors on the top of the lower Water Manifold. It will click in place.

8. Repeat the procedure with the with the upper Water Manifold, connecting each of thecondenser outlets to the manifold. For best results coolant should always enter thebottom of you condenser and exit at the top.

9. A water flow rate of at least 1.5 litres per minute should be used to maintain evendistribution to each condenser.
